The under-pressure manager stated he had no concerns about dismissal, asserting, “The team is extremely close to things turning around,” despite moving dangerously close to the exit with a convincing setback against the Ibrox side.

Another Capitulation Leads to Derby Disaster

The home side had led the visitors at the break but a collapse after the break allowed Danny Röhl’s team to move level on points with the defending Scottish Premiership champions. The French coach, who was brought in in December, has now presided over six setbacks in his first eight matches.

“There is unity at the club,” said Nancy.

Pressed on the speculation, the 48-year-old said: “I don’t think about it. I concentrate on discovering solutions to help my team to improve on small moments.

Supporters' Anger Outside Parkhead

The fans voiced their fury – aimed at the board and manager – by protesting at Parkhead. The board are reportedly likely to re-appoint Martin O’Neill, who steered the club during a temporary stint previously, if the Frenchman were sacked.

“It’s the results [that leads to pressure]. And that’s the truth for the moment. Yet by saying that’s how it is, it doesn’t mean that I am pessimistic. Absolutely not. My point is we are really close, extremely close to reverse our form.”

Focus on the Details

The coach highlights the fact the side show good levels for 45 minutes at a time. Indeed, but for wastefulness in front of goal they could have been better than 1-0 up. “The performance had merit other than the fact that we missed a second goal,” he said. “I know that we lost, but it's important to stay fair.

“The level we had at times was of top quality. That is a fact. I could not talk like that if it was different. Therefore, when it comes to wins, I mentioned it's a repeating pattern. Which is why I feel a change is coming to a shift in fortunes. Right now: the fine margins.”

“We produced many, many good things that we did, as was the case today. But now comes down to sustaining it. My outlook would not be if I didn't believe it. This is why I am convinced the team can to get back on track.”

Röhl’s Cautious Outlook

Rangers manager was cautious about a title charge despite what seemed like a statement victory. “We take it game by game, then we can develop momentum,” he said. “The faith in the group is excellent.”
